1971 F250 Weak Spots

Post by 4d4ever »

Hey guys, I was looking into a '71 Camper Special and am looking for some feedback from you guys as to the weak spots of this truck. How is the steering box? Slow? How about the brakes? I can't remember if the guy said if it had front discs or not. If not what brackets do I need to use to make this happen? Thanks guys.

the spots to look at on these trucks is the cab mounts floor boards rear cab corners and the inner fenders. if you want to add disc brakes later the best bet it to get a 73-79 for parts and use the disc setup from it.
